Last week the "Good For You, Good for All" Newsletter and website were launched. This campaign is intended to broaden awareness, and increase engagement and support for local parks and recreation.

The campaign hopes to make more than 5,600 local parks go-to destinations for Pennsylvanians with a new interactive map feature at www.goodforPA.com.
The map lets visitors search for a local park nearby or by county; provides aerial photography of the facility and a list of amenities available.

If you haven't checked it out please do so now at www.goodforPA.com and follow Good for PA on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
